As part of a bid to try and get some people in Totnes documenting the process in this way, we are holding a one day course this Saturday called **A Hands-On Introduction to YouTube Video Activism worldchanging with a digital camera and a laptop**

A bit like buses, Transition Town projects flyers don’t come along for months, and then three come along at once. Last week you’ll have seen the Transition Town Totnes and Transition Town Lewes flyers, today it is the turn of Transition Penwith. Things are continuing to grow well there, and the programme is a confirmation of that. You can download the pdf of the inside here and the outside here.
